Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

First few days in the new Jablome quarters and all is well. So far, the mountain bike riding in and around Auburn has lived up to the hype. The trails are designed with the mountain biker in mind making for a pleasant day on top of the two-wheeler. And with the weather the way it is in Nor Cal right now, where can you beat this type of fun? Long Island? Hell No! Put a relatively easy 10 miles in today on a trail called the Olmstead Loop. Not too technical but can be challenging while trying to keep the pace high.

The Jablome abode is still facing one major dilemma, sleeping arrangements. Apparently Mrs. Neverblome thinks she has the rights to a place next to me in the bedroom. Until her body shape matches the curves of a Santa Cruz Blur, my sleeping partner is Aluminum. All of my efforts have failed in my attempt to set her straight so I am open to any suggestions. Meg, any ideas? I am confident Al and Fred will know how to handle this.

Tomorrow starts day one of the Base phase of the Jablome training year and I have a plan. According to the experts (Fred and Al), you must have a structured training plan for the year. Like I always say, “You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.” So get a training program and stick to it. This week consists of nine hours of cardio, mostly spent on the mountain bike. I have two days of rest planned for Wood as well. Monday consists of a 1 ½ hour run in the morning before work. Go Team Wood!

PS. Solo, what do we have to do to get a link on your blog? You are boring and all but, for some strange reason you have viewers and we need more. Help some brothas out.
